  • Yield 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 raw large shrimp shelled and devined
  • 12 slices of baguette
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 12 tablespoons Simply Avocado Sea Salt Dip & Spread
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil plus more for toasting bread
  • chives finely chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven on broil to 500 degrees.
  2. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
  3. Toast in the oven until lightly golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, combine shrimp with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
  5. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the seasoned shrimp.
  6. Fry the shrimp until bright pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes, flipping frequently for even cooking.
  7. Once fully cooked, remove shrimp from heat.
  8. Spread 1 tablespoon of Simply Avocado with Sea Salt Dip & Spread on each cooled baguette slice.
  9. Top each baguette slice with the cooked shrimp and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice over the shrimp before serving.
You can substitute other types of bread if baguette is not available.
Chives can be replaced with parsley for a different fresh touch.
